This DTC tests for continuous intake manifold vacuum flow to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System. The control module seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve Closed and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve Closed. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum is being drawn on the EVAP system. If vacuum in the EVAP system is greater than a predetermined value within a predetermined time, this DTC sets.
FTP Sensor Signal Voltage | Fuel Tank Pressure |
---|---|
High, Approximately 1.5 Volts or More | Negative Pressure/Vacuum |
Low, Approximately 1.5 Volts or Less | Positive Pressure |

• | One of the following conditions is met: |
- | The ignition is off for greater than 12 hours. |
- | OR |
- | The start-up intake air temperature (IAT) and the start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) are within 8°C (46°F). |
• | The ignition 1 voltage is between 11-16 volts. |
• | The barometric pressure (BARO) is greater than 72 kPa. |
• | The start-up ECT and start-up IAT are between 4-34°C (39-93°F). |
• | The start-up IAT is 3°C (37°F) less than the actual IAT. |
• | The purge enable time is less than pre-determined value based on startup ECT. |
• | The fuel level is between 6-93 percent. |
• | The engine run time is between 1-360 seconds plus purge enable time. |
• | The DTC run once an ignition cycle when the above conditions are met. |
The FTP sensor indicates vacuum during a non-purge condition.
DTC P0496 is a Type A/B DTC.
DTC P0496 is a Type A/B DTC.
• | Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition occurs that caused the DTC to set. This may assist in diagnosing the condition. |
• | The EVAP system tests run when engine is first started and meets the Conditions for Running the DTC. An intermittent condition could be caused by an improperly installed or damaged EVAP canister purge solenoid valve , or by a temporary blockage or restriction in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve. |
